Headlights OEM Audi or EAGLE EYES

In der Fahrschule wurde mir damals beigebracht sich bei blendenden Autos auf den rechten Fahrbahnrand zu orientieren, nicht reinzustarren.

Can confirm replaced 1 headlight, front bumper and fenders - of course all aftermarket through insurance. IIRC the claim was $4300.

Just did the almost the same thing on my A6, Mint used headlight off ebay was $1000 bucks, being in the winter my headlights modules started going out so i bought 3 working ones for $300 off ebay

I can buy an entire second hand car for the cost of an audi matrix headlight. I can see fine out of my classic headlight (€229 for complete brand new saab 900 headlight at r&d carparts). It is real glass so it never fades and a fresh bulb is litterally a couple cents.

Though in my opinion, it's not the best looking Audi headlight. Although functionally/technologically inferior to this, my vote goes to B8 A4 HID headlights with that curved row of individual LEDs. It was characterful, and had exquisite design elements inside of it that worked in harmony with the lines that travelled around the car. Headlights in cars of that era were simple and boring and at best consisted of a round projector and another reflector for high beams plus indicators. B8 A4's HID lights were at a totally different level and shouted style and luxury. With these lights Audi started the game of DLR and using it as a design signature.

Peak Audi headlights are the S5 B8.5 headlights.

So peak that even aftermarket headlights for other cars call them "Audi style headlights" just like the Ferrari style or Lamborghini style headlights.

They are so iconic and unique that you see them and you immediately think audi.

That said, I have used eBay headlight before, specifically the brand Eagle Eyes (for my daily Camry, not Taco). Things to be concerned about is mainly the lens to housing seal. A lot of cheaper lights will allow condensation to get inside the lenses. Quick fix though.

Don't buy Eagle Eyes. I have used them for other vehicles, but on my GMT800 they broke on the mounting pin holes within a year.

I replaced with Akkon brand in 2019 and they are still trucking, seem to be good quality.

The Matrix Design headlights on my 2024 Q5 are $5,520ea. Parts are insane these days.

I bought expensive Audi headlights on AliExpress. However when parcel arrived UK I had to pay additional £107 for import duty - so looks like seller Dint lower item price down. Second issue is I took car to the garage in order to replace headlights. Garage replaced them, but issued me the report. That headlights is bringing two errors to the dash board: Right hand side day time running light and left hand side day time running light. Plus second report that light pattern is for left hand drive and it's a critical issue and MOT failure. So seems to me that seller send me the wrong lights.
